...could be that this success will light a spark, indeed a fire, in the President. His cool and distant smile of the past months could not hide all the hurt in his eyes from the rising national doubts about his competence. As Americans cheer his Camp David achievement, Jimmy Carter with luck and wisdom could be born again a second time in a way that could lift this nation as well as himself. Men in public service are nourished by justified public acclaim. Carter's time has at last come...
With the 1978 campaign now rousingly under way, Democrats and Republicans are engaged in furious battle. But on the major issue they have achieved a rare consensus. Both parties are scrambling as adroitly as possible to respond to the tax-cutting fever that is sweeping the nation (see page 48).

Last week, in a further show of unity, the front, joined by the Sandinistas, called on five friendly Latin American nations to mediate a ceasefire; the front itself refused to deal directly with Somoza and demanded that he and his family leave...
Faced with the failure of his technocrats, the Shah sought the advice of some of the country's leading intellectuals, scholars and sociologists. They reminded him that for an Islamic nation like Iran, people must feel that justice has been served. The Shah also feels that martial law, though technically imposed for six months, should end as soon as possible. If not, warned an intellectual, many dissidents might be driven underground and try to "keep things blowing sky high...
